00:00 Yo yo yo, we are back with another

00:03 prediction video. What's up guys? Hope

00:05 you guys are doing well. We have Hamza

00:07 Chimaya versus Sean Strickland uh for

00:09 this UFC card. Also with a great co-main

00:12 with Joshua Ban and Tatsuro Tyra.

00:14 There's a lot of controversy with Chamay

00:17 and Strickland. I feel like it's just

00:19 really all talk at the end of the day.

00:20 We will really find out if these guys

00:22 are going to be ready to scrap. So we're

00:23 going to have our predictions. Also that

00:25 Koma, like I was saying earlier, Joshua

00:27 Van's really going to try to prove

00:28 himself as a real champion. You know,

00:30 with Pantosia, his arm broke early in

00:32 the first round. A lot of people are

00:34 saying that Joshua Van isn't, you know,

00:36 a real champ. Tatsu Tyra just beat

00:38 Brandon Moreno in a dominant fashion.

00:41 So, not really sure how this is going to

00:44 play out. I think Tatsuro Tyra did lose

00:45 to Brandon Roy Val and Joshua Van did

00:48 beat Roy Val in that war. So, we'll see

00:51 who's a better man on Saturday night.

00:53 And that's our job to have as many picks

00:55 as we can uh correctly. So, let's get

00:57 some of these picks started off. And uh

00:59 let's start with the first fight, ladies

01:01 and gentlemen. Let's go. Clayton

01:03 Carpenter versus Jose ooa. Okay, this is

01:06 a flyweight bout. Flyweights, bro, it

01:09 doesn't matter who's fighting, the

01:11 flyweights are always super entertaining

01:14 just because how fast they are. If you

01:15 guys don't know, Peruvians, they can

01:18 scrap, bro. I know a lot of people from

01:19 Peru are really nice, super caring, but

01:22 the ones that fight, they know how to

01:24 fight, bro. I wouldn't mess with any of

01:26 them. I'm going to go Jose Ooa. Um, for

01:29 the first fight of the night, yeah, I

01:31 think that the first fight, especially

01:32 if you're doing predictions, is the most

01:34 important for the vibes, right?

01:36 Especially if you're watching, you get

01:38 the first you get the first fight

01:40 correct, you're already your trajectory

01:42 is only going up. You know what I mean?

01:43 You're like, "Okay, I hit the first

01:44 one." It's underrated to be honest. I

01:47 know a lot of people don't really know

01:48 who's fighting in the in the first early

01:50 prelims, but I definitely want to get

01:53 the first pick correct. So, we're going

01:55 Jose Choat via TKO. Um, we're going to

01:58 go with a second round TKO. Okay, that

02:00 is our first pick. Second fight of the

02:02 night. I'm surprised cuz Sus Kayv, he

02:05 has quite a bit of a fan base, I would

02:07 say. Um, Suska versus DeJourne Santos. I

02:10 I hate to say this, but I think Sus Kayv

02:13 is not as good as the people think he

02:15 is, bro. And I'm not even trying to

02:16 hate. I'm really really not. I just

02:18 think when he's especially his last

02:20 fight, he gets in these situations where

02:23 he shouldn't be getting into, right?

02:25 Especially as a highle uh fighter, it

02:28 just seems like he does a lot of

02:29 taunting. Maybe that's just like it like

02:34 feels like he's not really taking it

02:35 serious enough, maybe. Or maybe he

02:37 thinks he's just really good. I think

02:39 that he's still going to win this fight,

02:42 but as soon as he starts moving up the

02:43 ranks, he's going to have to lock it in

02:45 a little bit. He's on the fence, bro. I

02:47 swear. I swear. Who Who do you fight? He

02:49 fought uh Mcconico. He fought McConno.

02:52 He hasn't really fought a huge name yet.

02:53 Dejour Santos, not a huge name as well.

02:56 Uh he has a good record though. Uh he's

02:58 what? He's uh 11 and two. So, he's a

03:01 solid guy. I think Sushi Kai can he can

03:04 grapple. He could uh stop the takedown.

03:06 He has a he has range so he has like a 4

03:09 inch reach advantage too. So that

03:10 that'll help him out. Uh I'm going to go

03:12 with decision bro. I don't see sus kayv

03:15 submitting uh Santos. Maybe he does get

03:18 a TKO, but I'm going to go save Sus Kaiv

03:21 decision if you guys are hitting parlays

03:24 or out there out there. I mean I just I

03:26 don't know. I don't know if I would add

03:27 Sus Kai just because he's such a huge

03:29 favorite minus 650. Um that is that is

03:32 my pick with that one. I don't really

03:34 trust it yet, but let me know in the

03:36 comments down below if you guys trust

03:37 Usakaya. Let me know. We have Pat

03:39 Zapatini versus William Gomez. Now, I

03:43 didn't know that Gomez has fought this

03:45 many times in the UFC. If you look back,

03:48 he's had quite a few fights almost three

03:51 years ago. He's been in the UFC for

03:53 three years, and I myself have never

03:56 seen him fight. So, you know, you learn

03:58 something new every day. and he's going

04:00 against Pat Zapatini who also has tons

04:02 of fights in the UFC. He beat Chip ver

04:05 via decision. I think Chipe like uh tore

04:08 something in his knee. So that and he

04:11 still went three rounds was super

04:13 impressive. But I think I'mma go I'mma

04:17 go Sabatini on this one. Okay. I'm going

04:19 just go with a decision here just

04:22 because I know we have a lot of

04:24 underdogs that I'm personally taking on

04:26 this card. So, I don't want to go too

04:28 crazy and be like all underdogs with the

04:31 picks, but my picks are going to be

04:32 crazy. Just letting you guys know. Like,

04:34 I'm I have a certain feeling that

04:36 certain fights are going to play out a

04:37 certain way, and a lot of them are just

04:39 leaning towards the underdog for some

04:41 reason. Okay, this this fight in spec

04:45 specifically, this fight specifically,

04:46 Ro Roman Copilov versus Marco Tulio. I

04:49 think Roman Copilov had a great fight

04:51 against Paulo Costa that went to

04:53 decision. It was a unanimous decision,

04:55 but he I felt like it was a it felt

04:57 while watching the fight, it was a lot

04:58 closer than it actually was. Um, he also

05:01 fought Robocop. So, honestly, I think

05:03 this is a downgrade in competition

05:05 compared to Robocop and Paulo Costa in

05:07 my opinion. And I think this is a

05:09 winnable fight for Copilov. Well, him

05:11 being the underdog at plus 165 currently

05:15 or 155 currently. Sorry, I don't have my

05:16 glasses on right now. I'm going Roman

05:18 Copilov and I'm going uh decision win as

05:21 well. Okay, not a finish decision. Few

05:24 taked downs during the fight, some

05:25 grappling. Um, I don't expect a

05:27 knockout, but maybe Tulio's chin is went

05:30 away. I have no idea. This one was tough

05:33 for me just because Jim Miller, he has,

05:35 bro, he's he's fought so much, bro. He's

05:37 38 and 19.

05:39 So many so many so many fights. I think

05:41 he's up there with like submissions in

05:44 the UFC, like submission uh wins. And

05:46 he's going against Jared Gordon, who

05:48 just lost his last fight via KO against

05:50 Half of Garcia. Half a Garcia as a dog

05:52 if you guys didn't see that fight with

05:53 Alexander Hernandez. Um so doesn't

05:56 really surprise me. He beat Dieago

05:58 Moyes. U this I feel like is also a

06:00 winnable fight for Jim Miller. He's the

06:03 underdog. He's 43 years old. Let's not

06:05 forget he's 43 years old. He's a plus

06:07 260, but I feel like if a submission is

06:10 there, Jim Miller will find it, bro. And

06:13 I'm going to go with a round three

06:14 submission for Jim Miller. Um, I just

06:17 feel like Jim Miller also has the

06:19 durability to withstand. I don't know if

06:21 he's going to retire after this fight,

06:22 but I know it's the late stages, bro.

06:25 Very late stages. If if you're still

06:27 scrapping at 43,

06:29 you're a dog, bro. Cuz, you know,

06:31 sometimes I'll be waking up and I'm 26

06:33 and like my my hips be hurt, my neck.

06:35 Just imagine at 43 years old and you're

06:37 fighting at a very high level in the

06:39 UFC. So, I think he pulls off a upset

06:42 win and uh wins via submission. Okay.

06:45 Grant Dawson versus Matteas Rebecki.

06:48 This one is is uh interesting, bro,

06:50 because Grant Dawson, he uh he got he

06:52 just got knocked out against Manuel

06:54 Torres. I did see that fight in person.

06:56 Grant Dawson is a tough fighter, you

06:58 know. Uh Rebecki is as well. Uh that

07:00 fight with Ludovic Klein, I believe

07:02 Rebecki was uh bleeding a ton. With all

07:04 that being said, with these guys, I

07:07 think Grant Dawson, he's the favorite,

07:09 ends up getting the win via TKO. I'm

07:11 going go with a round two TKO for Grant

07:13 Dawson. Nothing too crazy. Um, I do

07:16 think this is going to be a very

07:17 entertaining fight though. Both these

07:18 guys are durable and uh, you know, very

07:21 I'm I'm just questioning Dawson's chin.

07:23 You know, I know Torres can strike very

07:25 hard, but I just want to make sure that

07:27 chin is still intact. If it is, I'm very

07:29 confident that Grant Dawson will get the

07:31 dub um, right there. So, another

07:34 underdog that I'm taking is Joel Alvarez

07:37 versus uh, Amos Amosov. Amosov, the

07:41 Ukrainian. Uh, I feel like they haven't

07:44 gave Yoel Alvarez his flowers, bro. Even

07:46 though he's a little older, he's 33

07:48 years old. Uh, they put him on the early

07:50 prelims, they put him on the the

07:51 prelims, and I feel like a lot of people

07:53 don't really know um how dangerous

07:56 Alvarez is. Like really like the only

07:58 loss he's had in the last four years was

08:00 against Armen Serukian, and he's he's

08:02 won via KO. His last fight was decision,

08:04 but u he's a finisher, and I do think he

08:07 ends up finishing this fight. Um what's

08:10 uh Amosab only has one fight in the UFC.

08:12 He's fought for Bellator and he beat

08:14 Neil Magny. That's his own all his

08:17 resume. He's 29-1, but the only UFC um

08:21 stat that he really has is is a win

08:23 against Neil Magny. So with Alvarez

08:26 being the underdog at plus 145, that

08:29 looks very very juicy in my opinion. So

08:32 let me know what you guys think about

08:33 this pick. I think Joel Alvarez gets a

08:35 submission in round three and finishes

08:37 the fight.

08:40 You guys are going to get on me for this

08:42 one, bro. Cuz Abba is a minus 10,000

08:45 favorite. But if you guys saw Abba's

08:47 last fight, I'm going to go on a little

08:49 rant here, bro. Cuz Abba has been

08:51 getting fed these guys, bro. And you

08:53 can't say the UFC doesn't feed certain

08:56 um prospects. If we look at Abba's last

09:00 five fights, it has been well not

09:02 counting the the contender series, the

09:04 last four fights has been Jose Medina

09:07 who has lost his like last four or five

09:10 fights. Uh Robert Valentine who's 10 and

09:14 five, Tristan Vines who made his UFC

09:17 debut on a UFC debut on short notice.

09:20 Bro, I saw him the day of the weigh-ins

09:22 and I was just like, bro, this is the

09:26 Roman coliseum, bro. like they

09:29 I don't I don't even know. And I don't

09:31 even know about Andre Pulv. You know,

09:32 he's 10 and three, but he made Abba look

09:35 very human in that last fight. We all

09:37 thought that Abba is just this knockout

09:40 artist.

09:41 I'm taking Azie Diaz here, bro. I sound

09:44 like who's that reporter that was like,

09:47 I want Iodala to shoot the last shot.

09:50 >> With the game on the line, one shot, who

09:53 would you rather have taking it, Iggy or

09:56 Curry? of everyone on Golden State. Open

09:59 shot. Fate of the universe on the line

10:01 or the Martians have the death beam

10:03 pointed at Earth. You better hit it. I

10:05 want Iguadala. I'm taking Azie Diaz if

10:08 the world's on the line. Bro, I think a

10:10 TB's beatable, bro. I'm not even I wish

10:12 I was joking with you guys. Like for

10:14 real. But nah, I got Aussie Diaz. He

10:17 trains with Alma Sterling, John Paul,

10:19 Shane Collins at the Cobber team in Las

10:21 Vegas. He's He's probably in the best

10:23 shape of his life and he's a plus 675.

10:26 I'm taking Aussie Diaz. I'm calling it

10:29 right here. Aussie Diaz submission. Only

10:33 time will tell what happens during this

10:36 fight, but just know your boy is locked

10:38 in. And I think I think Aba's beatable,

10:41 bro. It's kind of a hard hill to die on,

10:43 but I'm dying on the hill if if uh if

10:45 you know push comes to shove. You know

10:46 what I mean? This is a UNC battle here.

10:50 Jeremy Stevens versus King Green. Are we

10:53 adopting King Green as like his real

10:55 name? Bobby Green. He's on a twoight win

10:58 streak, bro. Which is kind of crazy to

11:00 say. And I think he makes it three. We

11:02 saw Jeremy Stevens uh in his last fight

11:05 against Mason Jones. He just got taken

11:07 down. It looked like Jeremy Stevens had

11:10 just been focused on bare knuckle uh

11:12 since he left the UFC and he made his

11:13 return. He had no grappling, bro. I

11:16 think Bobby Green shows UNCK levels on

11:18 this one, bro. If Bobby Green just

11:20 doesn't get tapped on the chin, if a fly

11:22 doesn't land on his head, I think he

11:24 ends up getting the win. I swear. I

11:26 think he has he has a grappling that

11:28 will end up helping win rounds if it

11:31 goes to decision. Um it's just that the

11:33 chin, you know, I feel like every what

11:36 is it? Lightweight has a highlight of

11:38 Bobby Green on his highlight. You just

11:40 see Bobby Green getting put out

11:43 many many times, you know, but he's on a

11:45 two-ight win streak and I think the the

11:47 fans are rallying behind King Green on

11:49 this one. What do you guys think? I'm

11:50 taking King Green. I'm taking him by

11:54 What would be interesting here? I don't

11:55 see Stevens going out. Stevens is a

11:57 warrior. I'm not I'm not trying to knock

11:58 Jeremy Stevens at all, but I do think uh

12:01 we we'll go decision here. Bobby Green.

12:03 Um he's a minus 300 favorite. Man, this

12:06 card is getting crazy, bro. Like

12:08 honestly, this main card is actually

12:10 really solid. We have Shawn Brady versus

12:11 Haim Buckley. And we haven't seen Shawn

12:15 Brady go out like that. His last fight

12:17 with Michael Morales, he got TKO'd. He

12:19 just didn't look like himself. Usually

12:20 Shawn Brady is just this menace, you

12:22 know, this grappling demon who just

12:24 submits everybody. He'll just mounted

12:25 guillotine um everybody. And he's gone

12:28 to jiu-jitsu tournaments and done it as

12:30 well. So, he could do it at a very high

12:31 level. Speaking of Buckley's last fight,

12:33 it's been a long time. Has it been over

12:35 a year since Yeah, it's been 10 months

12:36 since he's fired Kamar Usman. Low key

12:39 Buckley just let us down a little bit

12:41 with uh with a takedown defense with

12:45 Usuzman's knees being in the state that

12:47 they are and Usman was able to get those

12:49 takedowns and control Buckley on the

12:50 ground. It was kind of sad to see. It's

12:53 kind of it's kind of leaving me, you

12:55 know, questioning what who I should pick

12:57 here just because how much improvement

13:00 can you make in 10 months when it comes

13:01 to dealing with a grappler because that

13:04 can happen exact the same exact thing

13:05 that happened with Usman could

13:07 definitely happen with Shawn Brady.

13:09 Plus, Shawn Brady has the submission

13:10 threat that Usman doesn't have. I think

13:12 Shawn Brady mentioned on an interview

13:14 that Usuzman only has like one

13:16 submission, like an arm triangle

13:17 submission years and years ago. So,

13:19 Quake Buckley didn't even have to deal

13:21 with submission threats. Now he does,

13:24 but something is telling me to take

13:27 Buckley on this one. I think it's just

13:29 like on the mental side of Shawn Brady.

13:31 Like I know he has like a mental coach

13:32 and he went on Joe Rogan to talk about

13:34 kind of like his his game plan and and

13:37 his like uh selfnarration during the

13:39 fights and going back into the cage

13:43 after he just got knocked out. I do

13:45 think there's going to be some time

13:46 where Guaim Buckley can spark up Shawn

13:49 Brady early in the first round. So, I

13:52 think if Buckley's aggressive and he

13:55 puts Shawn Brady on his heels, I think

13:57 we Buckley could knock out Shawn Brady.

14:00 This is a close one for me. I'm going

14:02 Buckley round one finish. They did

14:04 Volkov dirty, right? I think he lost to

14:06 what was it? Sir Gan with a fight that

14:09 he really should have won and Dana White

14:11 was like, "Yo, I'mma that that fight was

14:14 a complete robbery. I'mma I'mma hook you

14:16 up next next fight." And then they gave

14:18 him what? Almeida and he won via split

14:20 decision against Almeida. Like I don't

14:22 know what. And then they gave him a

14:23 Costa afterwards. Like they did not do

14:25 anything after that that robbery for uh

14:28 for Volkov. I'm going to take Salsa Boy

14:30 on this one. Even though I I like

14:32 Volkov. I think his his submission and

14:35 grappling threat is there. He's kind of

14:37 just like a XL version of Patty Pimlet,

14:39 especially when he has the braids. So if

14:42 Volov doesn't have the braids, I'm going

14:44 to Costa all day. If VOV has braids,

14:47 it's going to be a tough night, bro. It

14:49 might be going to decision, low key. But

14:51 I'm going to go Salsa Boy. Uh, first,

14:54 no, second round. Second round TKO. I

14:57 think the youth just plays a little bit

14:58 of a factor here in the speed and the

15:00 power. I'm not not saying Volkov's going

15:02 to get flatlined or anything, but Salsa

15:04 Boy got that power, and I do think he

15:06 ends up getting the dub. We're already

15:08 at the co-main event. Hope you guys are

15:10 enjoying the video so far. This one is

15:12 going to be low-key cinema. Okay, Joshua

15:14 Van first title defense, you know, and a

15:18 lot of people are questioning, does he

15:19 even deserve the title in the first

15:21 place? I feel like that's the main

15:22 narrative for Joshua Van. Taturo Tyra

15:25 coming out of Japan. Um, really taking,

15:28 you know, the the the flyweight division

15:29 by storm. He just beat Brandon Moreno

15:31 and he won against who he fight. Uh,

15:34 yeah, Hyong Park in a very dominant win.

15:37 A lot a lot of takedowns. I remember

15:39 watching that fight. He just completely

15:41 uh dominated that fight. His only loss

15:44 over here in the UFC has been against

15:45 Brandon Roy Valo who Joshua Van beat in

15:48 a razor thin match. Um, literally Joshua

15:51 Van won in the last seconds of that

15:54 fight. And I think Joshua Van is going

15:56 to need that type of performance to be

15:58 able to make a statement and actually

15:59 prove people wrong that he really does

16:02 deserve to be champion. Now, I believe

16:05 that Joshua Van is going to win due to

16:09 the timeline. Okay, we have to think of

16:11 the sea of potentiality here. If Joshua

16:13 Van wins, he keeps the title and Ptoia

16:16 makes the return and this leads uh just

16:19 a tons of great matchups over here. If

16:21 Tatsu Tyro wins and he ends up winning

16:24 the belt,

16:26 I just feel like Pantoia is going to be

16:29 chasing and chasing Josh that that that

16:32 feeling of getting that get back against

16:33 Joshua Van. And I think if we have a

16:36 rematch fight with Joshua Van and

16:38 Pantoia, that would be cinema. I'm gonna

16:40 go with the narrative that in order to

16:42 have that fight happen, Joshua Van needs

16:45 to win this fight. And I think Van has

16:48 great boxing. You know, I think Tyra has

16:50 him in the grappling department for

16:51 sure. U but when it comes to striking

16:54 and just pure boxing in general, I got I

16:56 got Van. Uh just keeping the reach

16:58 advantage. Tyra does have a 5 inch reach

17:00 advantage and a 2-in height advantage,

17:03 which is definitely going to play a

17:04 role, especially when it comes to Van

17:06 getting inside, getting the distance

17:08 right. Uh Tyra has a good jab, solid

17:10 fundamentals, like he's not a crazy

17:13 flying uh KO type of guy. Tatsuro Tyra

17:17 is very disciplined in his in his

17:18 approach as well. Uh the thing that also

17:20 helping me choose Van is just seeing his

17:22 his mindset change where he was talking

17:25 about on as soon as he won the belt, he

17:26 hasn't been partying. He's been locked

17:28 in. He's just been purely training. And

17:30 I do think that the belt does carry aura

17:32 with you. So you do have some of that

17:34 extra bit of energy, you know, to say

17:35 that you're the champion. Bruce Buffer

17:37 is saying that, you know, you're the

17:39 flyweight champion of the world. I do

17:41 think that's going to add a little bit

17:42 of confidence to Joshua Van Van's game

17:44 and plus he walks out of Chief Keef. So,

17:48 the aura is definitely going to be high

17:49 on this one. And I'm going Joshua Van uh

17:52 via this a five round fight, bro.

17:57 Round three. Round three TKO. That's

18:00 going to be my pick. Solid. Now, Hamza

18:03 Chimaya versus Sean Stricken for our

18:05 main event of the evening. I I see some

18:08 people taking Shawn Strickland. I just

18:09 don't see Shawn Strickland winning this

18:11 fight, bro. even though his takedown

18:13 defense is really the one of the best in

18:16 the division. Uh his boxing is really

18:19 really good as well. He has really good

18:21 uh deep kicks. He has uh what is that

18:23 Mayweather type of uh Philly shell using

18:26 that Philly shell during the stand up. I

18:28 think Hamzach as soon as the bell rings

18:31 he's just going to just teleport to Sean

18:33 Strickland's ankles and he's going to

18:34 take him down and hold him down for five

18:36 round five rounds. Bro, I don't think

18:38 this is going to be the most

18:40 entertaining fight. That's going to be

18:41 my take here. Even though there's a lot

18:42 of bad blood between the two, Sean

18:44 Stricks is the type of guy to just make

18:46 all this publicity and have these crazy

18:49 call outs and say we're gonna die in

18:51 there and this is war and all this other

18:54 stuff and then just even though Sean

18:57 Strickland, he's a respectable opponent,

18:59 he he beat Anthony Hernandez, he just

19:02 TKO Anthony Hernandez,

19:04 he's on a win loss cycle. He's won one

19:07 lost one, one lost one. He won his last

19:09 one. I think the pattern continue. It's

19:11 like Bakarat at the end of the day. And

19:15 it's either player or banker. I'm going

19:18 player on this one. And I'm going Hamza

19:21 Chimayv. I just once once this fight's

19:24 over and if Chimayv wins, I really hope

19:27 that Chimay has another opponent ready

19:29 to go because I feel like it's just been

19:31 taking way too long. He's kind of been

19:32 stalling the division as a whole. I

19:34 would love to see more activity from

19:37 from the, you know, the champ himself.

19:40 This is his first. This is his first

19:41 title defense since Drius Duplexi. And

19:43 that was how many months ago? Eight

19:45 months ago. And he's making his first

19:47 defense.

19:49 Brother, we're all getting older. We got

19:51 to see these guys fight. I'm going Hamza

19:53 Hamza Chimaya win via decision here. I

19:57 could see a submission. Totally see a

19:59 submission in the cards, but I'mma go

20:02 decision. Um maybe Strickland does win a

20:05 few rounds if it goes the distance, but

20:07 I think Chamay is going to end up um

20:10 with the dub via like gas tank and

20:13 takedowns. All in all, those are my

20:15 picks. I know we had tons of kind of

20:17 weird ones in there, but I'm really

20:19 hyped for this card to say the least.

20:20 So, I hope you guys enjoy. And also, let

20:23 me know if you guys enjoy reactions to

20:25 the cards as well. I could totally do

20:27 them. Um it just depends if you guys are

20:29 going to watch them or not. You know, I

20:30 love talking about the cards beforehand.

20:32 Also, we could talk them talk about them

20:34 after as well. So, just want to ask you

20:37 guys a few of those things. Make sure to

20:38 leave a like, subscribe, and stay tuned

20:41 for more. Appreciate you guys. Have a

20:42 great weekend. Let's get ready for these

20:44 fights. Let's get it. Peace.
